On this episode of Speaking Tangentially, Cectheplug and her special guest "Arccot Anna" explore the wonders of pi(e); the one with apples inside and the one with an infinite strand of digits after its decimal point. Tune in to hear the astounding record holder for reciting the decimal places of pi, what goes into squaring a circle, and folklore of how the great mathematician Archimedes figures out that the King's crown is not made of real gold. Beautiful Geometry by Eli Maor and Eugen Host is Cecelia's favorite book and is referenced in this episode. Highly recommend!
